Answer:

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is given by the following function:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

Will the superhero make it over the building?

We have to find if there is values of x for which f(x) = 612.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

If \bigtriangleup < 0, the polynomial has no solutions.

In this question:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

-16x^{2} + 200x = 612

16x^{2} - 200x + 612 = 0

We have to find \bigtriangleup

We have that a = 16, b = -200, c = 612. So

\bigtriangleup = (-200)^{2} - 4*16*612 = 832

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

In the casino game of roulette, a gambler can bet on which of 38 numbers the ball will land when the roulette wheel is spun. On
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Expected winnings for one spin = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Value = Sum of [(Probability of X)(Value of X)]

E(X) = Σ [P(X).X]

Two Events : X = +68 , P(X) = 1/38 and X = -2 , P(X) = 37/38

E(X) = [(68) (1/38)] + [(-2)(37/38)]

[(68)(0.03)] + [(-2)(0.97)]

= 2.04 - 1.94

= 0.1
